There were often op- portunities for fun, but being a band member included a great amount of hard work for those who had the ability and the discipline to partici- pate. Marchers had to put their best foot for- ward inot to mention their correct footy while they tried to stay in straight, perfectly spaced lines. The real challenge came, though, when they had to play as they marched. 134 l Band This year the band performed four different shows which meant learning several routines along with a great deal of music. Tine Safrit, flag captain, commented, The hard work was definitely worth it as far as the variety it offered the home audience since they be- came bored with seeing the same show week after week. This also gave band members more incentive to work. The new approach to half-time shows was designed to bring pride and support back to the band as well as keep the audience glued to their seats during half-time. l recall the qual- ity of the band when I was a freshmen. I only hope that through dedication the band can be that great again. said Tara Jackson, a se- nior band member. And what are the plans for the future March- ing Cavaliers? Mr. Lipe, the band director, ex- pressed, We hope to try to do a variety of shows, to represent the school the best way we can at football games, and to go on trips to rirliakfe band enjoyable for students.
